Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup powdered (icing) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch salt
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • Shortbread cookies for dipping

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Fold in the sugar, orange zest, vanilla, and salt.
  • Beat until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the cranberries. Serve immediately with shortbread cookies for dipping, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Be sure to have your cream cheese and butter at room temperature before beating so that they combine smoothly.
  • For an extra smooth dip, sift your powdered sugar before beating.
  • To avoid a cloud of powdered sugar, fold it in before beating the dip.
  • This dessert dip recipe is suitable for gluten-free diets. Use gluten-free shortbread cookies for dipping.
